Contagious Summer Love

La la la... it's a summer love.

I don't know how many of you are in love with the summer season, but I for one am! Although, I am learning to enjoy the freezing cold of winter time, I miss laying in the grass and skipping under the trees. I found these pictures which had been sitting in my draft folder since August and decided to give everyone a taste of summer warmth, even if there is currently snow on the ground.

I am an addict to dance. Just yesterday I was in the studio taking a dance class and teaching a contemporary class. Standing at the barre with my arms in port de bras was so fulfilling. I am in love with classical ballet. The movements are overwhelmingly filled with beauty and care. I was taken back to another world. Although I lost about 40% of my skill, I am determined to work back up. Although I will not be able to win back all my skill from ballet, I know I can reach my previous level and even go beyond when it comes to contemporary!

Oh that scholarship! If you are a reader of this here bloggie I edit, you may be aware of a crazy scholarship I have been working on since September. I am relieved to share that it has been submitted. All I can do now is pray that the winners chosen are deserving, and that the hearts of the scholarship committee will see my application for all that it is. I know that I want my life now and in the future to be for God, and if this scholarship will help me reach out to more people in Graduate School academia, then AMEN!

Jesus Prays for All Believers

20“My prayer is not for them alone.
I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,21that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.
May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.22I have given them the glory that you gave me, that
they may be one as we are one:23I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete
unity to let the world know that you sent me and
have loved them even as you have loved me.

24“Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

Happy July everyone! Although I'm in Guatemala, I am excited to share with you all an awesome event coming up in the Southern Cali...
